Koh Phi Phi

Central location, restaurants, bars, shops and the ferry all within easy walking distance, perfect for exploring Koh Phi Phi without any hassle. €34 per night, good value for money. Great location, friendly and helpful staff, modern rooms with stylish design. Small downside: the rooms had an unpleasant smell that took a bit away from the stay.

We booked this tour directly through our hotel, an easy and convenient way to enjoy the experience stress-free. Cost around €30 per person, departure from the main pier where the ferries also dock.

Fairly small, and we found the scene there a bit sad. Some tourists didn't respect the monkeys retreating and instead followed them for photos, selfies and videos. Please remember: when visiting Monkey Beach, keep your distance and respect the animals' need to retreat.

This spot was simply a dream and matched our expectations of Thailand perfectly. Bring your own snorkel gear or use a free one from the operator, lots of beautiful, colorful fish, and the atmosphere on board was simply great.

A protected and famous beach with white sand and clear, glowing water, known as the filming location for "The Beach." At the time of our visit, swimming in the sea was banned, the Thai military would whistle back visitors who went in deeper than their knees.

At the end of the tour we made a spontaneous stop by the cliffs just before the harbor, since you could see bioluminescence there after dark, created by tiny, single-celled algae that glow blue. That day there wasn't much of it, but it was still a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
